I did add a bit of crushed garlic and sauted some frozen onions in with the browned hamburger to give some richness and depth of flavor. This will definitely become a weekly staple for me and the left overs are even better than when you first cook it.

Surprisingly delicious!Surprisingly delicious!
I am not a big fan of shepherd's pie but I was looking to make a good confort food meal on a cold wintery day. This Shepherd's Pie recipe was the best I have ever had (according to myself, my husband and my 2 toddlers who ate it all gone!)
I was scheptical and cautious but I was blown away by how good it was!
This one is going straight into my recipe box of favorites!
PS: I don't think it said in the recipe directions, but broiling for the last 2 minutes of bake time will give it a great look and an extra little crunch to the cheese on top!

I also did not use the regular frozen mixed vegetables. I used several vegetable blends (tomatoes, okra, peppers, onions, and celery; corn, red and green peppers; and peas and carrots; onions, celery,and peppers). I know it sounds like a lot of onions...but it really wasn't. I just hate the green beans and lima beans in the regular mixed vegetables. There are so many new blends out there, I just picked a few and threw them together.
This recipe made quite a bit. I was able to package and freeze 1/2 of it for a later date.
It was a nice, warm meal, on a very cold night.

I followed the directions exactly and it just didn't have a good flavor at all. The potato topping was the only part my husband and I enjoyed, so I plan on making them again as a side dish. I would recommend sauteing the garlic a bit because it was still pretty raw after 20 minutes in the oven. Also, use 2 small-medium garlic cloves, not big ones like I did!

My 12 yr.My 12 yr. old daughter made this! It was delicious and very easy to make. Leftovers were even better the next night.
Because of time, We used instant mashed potatoes as listed as an option and you could not tell the difference. My husband topped his with sour cream. Next time, I think we'll substitute 2-CANS (drained) mixed vegetables. Frozen veggies were still somewhat crunchy...might be a turn off for some children. Can't wait to try other variations.. BBQ sauce instead of gravy & also substituting chicken for beef! Give it a try...quick meal !

I substituted ground turkey with good results, although make sure you only use the 1 lb of meat requested. Turkey comes in larger packages a lot of the time, so I had to use an entire jar of gravy, rather than the 1 cup. I would be careful on the garlic though. Normally, I love the stuff, but the 2 normal sized cloves I used were quite overpowering. Perhaps it was just my garlic, though.

However, I grabbed a bag of mixed veggies, per the recipe, forgetting that we don't like frozen green beans. Next time I'll buy individual bags of veggies that we DO like. Also, I used instant potatoes and left out the milk per the recipe tip, and I don't recommend doing that, as the potatoes were dry... so definitely add at least some of the milk. Other than that, it was a pleasant surprise, and quite tasty!

All the flavor is in the meat layer: Do taco or chili with beans and onions, or strogonof, or Philly cheese steak.
Cream your veggie layer with only those you like so it becomes a soft bread.
This recipe presents no better opportunity to show off how you like your mashed potatoes. I like to float well-cooked parcels in a garlic mash. Toss in a pea for a contest.
